Is it too late?

I did not apply to many firms over the Winter break and have not heard back yet from many of the firms where I did apply. I'm getting worried and was wondering if its too late to go back and send out the mass cover letters/resumes. Any thoughts?

No, of course its not too late. It seems that, aside from clerkships and some gov't jobs, the only people that really HAVE to apply/interview for winter break are those that want to work at home or outside the city/area where they go to school. I'm in school in Atlanta, and the vast majority of firms/attys don't even want my resume until I have grades for them to look at (which will hopefully be next week). All OCI, school job postings, and firms I've called or written want me to hold off until I can send at least a partial transcript. I've been told by hiring coordinators that the usual practice is to pile up resumes until late Jan/early Feb and start looking through them once they have transcrips.

Is applying early a good idea? Yes. Are you screwed if you start now? No, probably not.

It's not too late at all, but you have to hurry!

I wrote approachthebench for situations just like this. I'd apply everywhere I can if I were you.
